Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We had daily stand-up meetings to go over our progress for auditing our client, and to assign tasks for each team member for the day. We would then proceed with our audit tasks for the day, which could include contacting the client for relevant information and checking various financial statements against the provided information e.g. invoices and proof of purchase receipts. Most of the work would be completed on excel using a work laptop.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The experience gave a clear insight on what daily work life would be like and the tasks involved. They also held a two day firmwide induction where we learnt about the company and the various business lines available. Information was provided clearly and we could always ask questions to colleagues during the internship.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The two day induction was a great welcome to the company, it was very well organised and everyone was well catered for. During work in the office, everyone was very helpful and friendly and we were encouraged to ask questions if we were feeling unsure. There was sometimes a little pressure to get things done efficiently, but it did not feel overwhelming. I definitely enjoyed the culture and atmosphere overall.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Deloitte
Make sure to research the firm and the business area you apply for before starting the application process, especially the firm's culture and values as you will get a better understanding of how they work. During the various application stages, think carefully before confirming your answers and be honest. Having work or volunteer experience is also helpful as it gives you experiences you can talk about during the interview, even if it is not directly related to the business area.
